She claims to be able to turn gay men straight via counselling, and agrees that homosexuality as "a mental illness, an addiction and antireligious phenomenon”.

However...if a gay man or woman is genuinely unhappy being gay and wants to seek counselling for a 'cure', shouldn't they have the option?

Or is this reinforcing the idea that homosexuality is a mental illness and that all people are really heterosexual underneath?

If you spoke to a paedophile they would say what they're doing is perfectly natural to them and they were born like that. Others would say what they are doing is wrong and need treatment to correct their inner thoughts. Homosexuality is also wrong but they won't listen to anybody!

Homosexuality isn't wrong when it's between consenting adults. And that's why you can't compare it to paedophilia because

a) It's not between consenting adults and
b) It's illegal

Its the thought processes that leads to perversion. Somewhere along the road the mind has been influenced by outside experiences. These need correcting! The problem is certainly not biological.

There is nothing in the picture I painted (or my scenario) that suggests anyone being in fear.

Yes Doc, and i understand that. I would guess that there are many people out there that think along the same lines but are still not homophobic. I don't fancy women so there would be an element of me not understanding it either. Doesn't make it wrong though, or perverted.

Yeah, I know ginge....I find it quite sad. It must be horrible being disgusted about things that has no effect on your life whatsoever...

I wonder who does more harm in the world, a serial father who leaves a string of illegitimate children in his wake or a gay man?

Not liking it doesn't make you a homophobe though....

Maybe we need some plain speaking. Homosexuality although not criminal is wrong!
If they want to indulge do it in private, we don't want to know!!

It's not wrong.
It's not illegal............
Stop making it your business to be disgusted by it all, if you find it so abhorrent. Don't continue to watch !
